Do you think a person can be happy single?

Or is it cope, and all people strive to find a relationship with someone?

Personally I think a person can be capable of being perfectly happy and lead a fulfilling life outside of the confines of a romantic relationship/marriage but I want to see other people’s opinions on the matter.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I sometimes think about hopping on dutasteride. If it works, I get hair. If it goes south and my test gets destroyed, then maybe it's easier to be a blissful drone.


More seriously though, I know plenty of adults that seem pretty happy alone. Never having a partner for a significant duration seems pretty brutal, and even so, you still have to keep up solid social relations, but idk, seems doable. Certainly not what aiming for though, even if my trajectory seems to trend towards it

Would also think it's more relationshipcel cope than anything. The incels are the ones who are vocally miserable about being alone.

most people can’t. but i can and am. i also enjoy being in a relationship.

it’s important to know yourself, your interests, what you like / dislike, and what you want out of life. a relationship won’t necessarily make u happy. if you’re miserable alone a relationship is only going to be able to make u happy for as long as your partner can take you, but u will become a drain on them eventually

You can but it's hard. Only those with some seriously strong mental fortitude can manage it.

The only time I’m happy being single is the 2-3 months after a break up, when I’m just glad I don’t have to listen to someone’s constant bullshyt. But after a while, this ain’t it man.

I think it is possible for sure, but rare for someone to truly be genuinely happy alone.

Again though - it is possible. I know one person like that - he had some wild days, now (in his late 60s), he's content with peace and predictability in his day to day existence. And he wants that until he dies, basically.

Being alone is crippling and I pray for an early death
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

You always want what you don't have.

If you're single you want consistent sex, maybe a relationship / nuclear family love story.

If you're taken, you crave more free time and wonder if you can get better.

If who you're dating meets or exceeds your standards, you'll disregard other sloots and sacrifice without it feeling like a sacrifice/obligation.

You can be happy single, but you'll need to occupy your excess time with things that make you have your fix of dopamine and fun. And it's a bit easier if you have a FWB, or otherwise whoremax, on the occasion, so as to avoid the dry spells. Yes you can be happy, but it helps if you're obsessed with your life and activities.

If you know how to survive without emotional support than being single is goat. It takes alot of self awareness and inner healing to get to that point. I'm not there yet but I'm striving to be

Relationships are fun but when they suck they really suck.
